Here’s an excerpt of Kate’s Q&A with Poets & Quants;<\/p>\n
What achievement are you most proud of in your professional career? <\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n I\u2019m most proud of starting Kids Code Jeunesse (KCJ), a charity that supports education systems with digital skills. At the time I started it, I was co-founder and Vice President of an IT company, with 3 young children at home. It was a risky move, but it was so worth it.<\/p>\n Why did you choose this school\u2019s executive MBA program? <\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n I chose the McGill-HEC EMBA because it is a combination of two highly regarded universities, one representing English Canada and the other French Canada. It\u2019s a unique combination of languages and cultures.<\/p>\n What is the biggest lesson you gained during your MBA and how did you apply it at work? <\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n The biggest lesson I gained during the program was the role of leadership. I\u2019ve learned about collaboration, teamwork, and how important the tone that is set at the top influences the whole company. I am a better leader because of the program.<\/p>\n
